Resumo

THE CONTINUOUS CASTING PHASE OF THE STEEL PRODUCTION IS ONE OF THE FEW AREAS THAT STILL REQUIRES SEVERAL MANUAL OPERATIONS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO THE MOLTEN STEEL. THIS PAPER ILLUSTRATES HOW THE RIGHT COMBINATION OF THE LATEST ROBOTIC TECHNOLOGIES ALLOWS A FULL AUTOMATIZATION OF THE CASTING OPERATIONS, WITH GREAT INCREASE IN SAFETY, PROCESS AND PRODUCTION EFFICIENCY. THANKS TO ADVANCED HUMAN MACHINE INTERFACES, OPERATORS CAN CONTROL THE CASTING PROCESS IN ITS ENTIRETY, FROM SHROUD MANIPULATION TO NOZZLE OXYGEN OPENING, STEEL TEMPERATURE SAMPLING AND MORE, WHILE NEVER BEING REQUIRED TO ACCESS THE CASTING AREA DURING ITS CRITICAL STAGES.
